No need for so much animosity. A simple short reply like "Actually, we really need 100%." would be much more productive.
You expect no animosity when someone claims you are blatantly lying and manipulating the community you've built? It's not a light accusation, it's quite wtf to say such a thing out of nowhere when we have been 100% transparent and clear about this topic for 6 months or so now.
And yes, like Achim says: 5% was the bare minimum, so of course we won't "go ahead regardless with 4.5%"
